In one catechism class the children were asked to draw a picture of God. Many children drew pictures of an old man with his arms extended. Others drew pictures of Jesus, the Cross, or a bird in flight. One child drew a long green thing. When he was asked what that was, he said that he had heard that God was the string been. (aka Supreme Being)

I used to think the Glory Be was a prayer against the end of the world ("...world without end.") I watched a lot of disaster movies as a child and so a disastrous end of the world was a constant anxiety of mine. I would even pray the Glory Be when there was a thunderstorm, as I was afraid a tornado would hit the house. It is because of this misunderstanding that, for many years now, I've been ending the Glory Be with "Forever and ever." "World without end" doesn't make sense and sounds kinda awkward to me.
